The James B. Beam Distilling Co. has announced its fall and winter 2026 event lineup at its historic Clermont campus, featuring whiskey releases, culinary events, live music, and holiday gatherings through the end of the year. The distillery produces American whiskey brands including Jim Beam, Knob Creek, and Basil Hayden.
Featured events include the release of Booker’s The Reserves, an annual bourbon expression drawn from selected barrels in the Beam family rack houses. The schedule also includes Clermont Supper Club dinners paired with limited whiskey releases, free outdoor concerts featuring Kentucky artist Matt Red Moore, and a Smoke and Oak bourbon-and-barbecue event.
Additional programming includes Kentucky Distilled, a regional culinary experience organized with Kentucky Proud to highlight local ingredients, alongside a Beam Family Friendsgiving dinner. Visitors can also participate in regular distillery tours, tastings, and dining at The Kitchen Table restaurant on the campus.
Event tickets, distillery tour bookings, and details are accessible through the company’s website. Guests visiting the on-campus store, The American Outpost, can also purchase distillery-exclusive merchandise and limited bottle releases.
The historic James B. Beam Distilling Co. Homeplace is located in Clermont, Kentucky, approximately 30 minutes south of Louisville. Among its recent retail offerings is the revived Beam’s Ten-Pin Bottle, a 10-year-old, 100-proof Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey presented in a bowling pin-shaped decanter.
